How To Take Your Eye Makeup To The Next Level...

Saturday, 15 July 2017

Yes, I know you guys were probably expecting a tutorial based on today's title, however, instead, I think it's about time to introduce you to the brand that has completely changed my eye makeup game for the better.If you haven't heard of Eyeko before (I.e. if you live under a rock), they are a truly fantastic brand, specialising in a range of products formulated for the eye and brow area.Before approximately a month and a half ago, I hadn't tried any of their products and was completely unaware of their sheer quality, otherwise they would have been featured on this blog much sooner. For sure. But, as they say, there's no time like the present, so today we're going to explore a mixed stunning Eyeko products that were kindly gifted to me by their wonderful PR team! (Kadija, I see you girl!) Trust me, your bank account balance is going to be in real trouble after reading this post!

Lash Alert Mascara*- £19.00Now, when I saw this mascara, I absolutely freaked out because I love the concept of having a mascara in a tube, as it's so convenient and innovative! And, needless to say, it definitely lived up to my expectations.I am, quite frankly, obsessed with this mascara; the wand itself is the perfect size (allowing for the formation of a curl within the lashes) and the formula is spot on, meaning it's not too watery yet not thick enough to reach that dreaded 'clumpy' status. It's just my idea of perfection and plus, it's very black, which I love for extra definition and volume.

The ingredients included have also really impressed me, ranging from caffeine to the likes of Arginine for the stimulation of growth and also to give you that 'awake and energized' look, even after the roughest night's sleep. (We all know those nights...)I totally recommend this mascara 100% - it's the only one I've been using on the daily since the moment I got it. It definitely gets the job done and gets it done bloody well!

Brow Gel* - £18.00This botanically enriched brow gel has been an absolute lifesaver for my brows, which are very fine, sparse and in need of a good taming now and again!With regards to the gel, the texture is fairly loose, which I'm actually very into as thicker gels tend to create a very artificial, 'clingy' sheen on top of each hair. However, here, you're definitely getting a more natural finish and, for me, that's always the aim of the game when it comes to applying any makeup product. Make it look like it's meant to be there. (The 'fake' look isn't my cup of tea but can, of course, suit others really well so to each his own, I say!)

Yes, swatching a brow gel was not easy but I do try for you guys!

The shade is also pretty versatile - despite not being bang on identical to my normal brows, it blends in and adapts itself beautifully to match each person's needs.To be honest, I'm not at all surprised that this brow gel has won awards - its ability to style and define quickly and effectively is, indeed, second to none.

Me and my shadow* - £18.00I don't even know where to start with these stunning shadow sticks. It's fair to say that I'm bowled over by these and will be getting a hell of a lot of use out of them, now and in the near future.The shades I have are bronze, topaz and charcoal, all of which are creamy, blendable and pigmented AF. I mean, one swipe of one of these and you're good for the rest of the day, as they don't smudge or budge due to their waterproof nature.

From top to bottom: Bronze, Topaz and Charcoal

Bronze is gorgeous placed on the lid as a simple wash of colour for an everyday look, whilst Topaz looks dazzling in the inner corner. I use Charcoal to seamlessly smoke out any eye look, however, there are endless possibilities for these shadow liner - I urge you to try them out ASAP. You won't regret it!

Black Magic Liquid Eyeliner* - £16.00Despite the fact I own numerous liquid liners, this one has quickly become one of my favourites that I'm constantly reaching for. In my opinion, the brush on this liner is like no other - it's so adaptable, allowing for ultimate precision on every stroke. With this product, you can create the thinnest of all lines if desired but, by slightly pressing harder, you can separate the bristles and draw out the perfect fat black wing. It's revolutionary!

3-in-1 Makeup Brush* - £16.00And last but not least is this three in one brush. Yes, you heard that right: three in one! Don't believe me?

BAM! Now, as you can see, we have a precision liner brush, a defining brush (perfect for applying lid colour) and a blending brush, which is fabulous in the crease. All of the brushes are great quality and the fact that they're so compact mean that they'll forever have a place in my travel makeup bag! I definitely recommend this three in one 'contraption', as it's so original and saves me an immense amount of space inside my bag, which is usually crammed full of junk (like my school books, for example).

Oh really lovely? xx What a shame because I know their products are fab! Maybe you'd like the black magic liner featured here slightly better, as it's more adaptable and can deliver a thinner line if desired. Yes, I use the brow gel on the daily - I'm obsessed! xxLots of love,Marina Rosie xx

I also used to use the fat liner Ellie - it's fab, but I totally recommend trying the black magic! SO precise! Well, now you know they do eyeshadows and they're stunning - definitely worth purchasing hun. xLots of love,Marina Rosie xx

Happy you're loving the look of the products Di, they're pretty spectacular! I, too, was quite taken by the 3 in 1 brush because of how compact it is! Definitely going to be popping that into my handbag! xLots of love,Marina Rosie xx

I've heard of Eyeko before but I didn't know that had such an extensive range of eye makeup. The brow gel and the eyeshadow sticks look fantastic, and look at those stunning shades! Thanks for putting this brand in my radar again, will need to check them out :D

Lovely to hear from you hun, so glad you're loving the sound of these Eyeko goodies! Those two are some of my favourites! And yes, I totally agree, the pigmentation on the shadows is UNREAL! xxLots of love,Marina Rosie xx

Awe hun! Makeup is, of course, a practice makes perfect type of skill, but if I were to give you some advice, it would definitely be to get yourself sorted with some basic, good quality products (ie. a mascara, a shadow palette, a liner, foundation, powder, etc..) and watch a Youtube tutorial, following each step and then see how it looks! You can continue to do that and, trust me, within a few weeks, you'll have come on leaps and bounds! Bear Eyeko in mind for you eye makeup products - they're stunning! xLots of love,Marina Rosie x

Thanks for the highly edifying tip on mascara. I was looking for something that doesnt clump up in a short time as it's a dry hot summer here in France so I'm definitly going to try the lash alert, as you've made it sound so irrisistable.

Everything looks so good! I especially like the sound of the mascara. I actually have a couple of the Eyeko shadow sticks that I've never got around to using, I'll have to dig them out and try them after reading this.
